Former Minister for Food and Agriculture and National Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Dr. Bryan Acheampong, on Tuesday paid a courtesy call on the leadership of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana.

The visit was to thank God and express his heartfelt gratitude for their prayers and support throughout this journey.

According to Dr. Acheampong, he began his campaign with the Lord, and it was prudent to return the Lord’s thanksgiving.

Former Vice President Dr. Bawumia was declared the winner, with 110,643 votes, representing 56.5 percent of the total valid votes cast.

The NPP presidential primary, which featured Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, and Dr. Acheampong, was conducted nationwide without biometric verification devices, placing emphasis on internal party structures and delegate registers.
